Why Manchester Residents Are Choosing Online Wills

Life in Manchester moves fast—between the working week in the city centre, a social life in the Northern Quarter, and weekends at family gatherings in Didsbury or Altrincham, finding time for a solicitor’s appointment can feel impossible. Yet delaying a will can leave loved ones facing months of paperwork and probate fees that often exceed £3,000.

Kinta makes it easy today. Our online service guides you through clear, plain-English questions—the same a local solicitor would ask—on your phone or laptop whenever you like.

Protect valuable Manchester homes. Rising property prices in Salford Quays, Chorlton and beyond can push even modest estates above the inheritance-tax threshold. A carefully drafted will lets you use tax-free allowances and gifts so more stays with your family.

Speed up probate at the Manchester District Probate Registry. When your will is easy to follow, executors get the grant faster, which means funds are released sooner and stress is reduced.

Cover all Greater Manchester boroughs. Whether you live in Stockport, Trafford, Oldham or right by the Etihad, your Kinta will is valid across England and Wales. Move house? Log back in anytime and update for free.

The Hidden Cost of Doing Nothing

Most people think writing a will is something you tackle "one day"—after the kitchen’s renovated, the loft is converted, or the kids are finally sleeping through the night. But here’s the hard truth: every month you wait, the price of sorting things out later creeps up. In England and Wales, the average probate bill now runs between £3,000 and £5,000 once court fees, solicitors, and paperwork are added up.1  That is money your family could be using for school fees, mortgage payments, or even just keeping the lights on.

Why the Bill Blows Up

1. Extra Legal Fees – Without clear instructions, solicitors spend hours piecing your estate together. Those billable hours add up fast.
2. Unclaimed Assets – Bank accounts, pensions, or premium bonds can get locked in limbo. Each letter, phone call, and legal chase costs more.
3. Family Disputes – Sadly, even the closest families can disagree. Mediation and court appearances don’t come cheap.
4. Probate Delays – The longer probate drags on, the more interest, penalties, and storage fees pile up on unpaid accounts and property.

The 15‑Minute Fix

Writing a will with Kinta takes less than 15 minutes, costs a fraction of a single solicitor’s hour, and gives crystal‑clear instructions that keep fees low and families calm. You answer a short set of plain‑English questions; we generate a legally binding, solicitor‑approved document—ready to print, sign, and store.

What You Save (Beyond the Money)

• Time – Probate can stretch 9 – 12 months without a will. With one in place, it often wraps up in as little as 6 weeks.
• Stress – No guessing games about who gets the house or looks after the dog. Your wishes are written in black and white.
• Relationships – Clear instructions mean fewer arguments, fewer hidden resentments, and far fewer awkward Christmas dinners.

Statistic You Should Know: According to the Office for National Statistics, 56 % of UK adults still don’t have a valid will.2  Of those estates that go to probate without one, nearly a quarter end up in a dispute that costs the family over £10,000 in combined fees and lost value.

The Simple Choice

A will isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a cost‑saving plan, a relationship preserver, and a sleep‑easier‑at‑night guarantee. Skip the probate price tag and give your loved ones the gift of clarity.
